Grant News
The B&Q Foundation has announced that its July 2025 grant funding round will continue to support projects with a specific focus on supporting UK-registered charities working with people experiencing homelessness. This year, grants of up to £5,000 are available for garden and outdoor space projects, while funding for indoor or building improvement projects can reach up to £10,000. Larger grants may be considered in exceptional cases where projects demonstrate significant impact.
Eligible projects can include for example:
- the creation or refurbishment of community gardens,
- renovation of housing spaces such as kitchens or bathrooms,
- improvements to accessibility for people with disabilities,
- enhancements to shelters or community facilities.
The funding is designed to support practical projects that enhance the living environments of vulnerable groups.
Applicants must be registered charities based in the UK. All projects should be completed within six months of receiving funding, and grants are intended for standalone projects rather than core operating costs.
Application to the programme is managed through the Neighbourly platform, where charities must set up or maintain a profile to submit proposals.
There is a short application window, and the closing date for applications is the 1st August 2025.
Further details about the application process and eligibility can be found at the B&Q Foundation’s official website (link below).
